``Hearing Voices is a guide to the application of qualitative
research methods to the real-life experiences of youth in the early
stages of psychosis and will enhance the care offered by early
intervention programs. The book provides examples of how to conduct
qualitative research with participants who have a first episode of
psychosis, using innovative mediums such as dance as a form of
knowledge translation. With a practical focus on key issues such as
family intervention, pathways to care, primary care, and service
delivery, this resource can help clinicians to adopt evidence-based
and consumer-driven ideas into their daily clinical practice and
aid researchers who want to use qualitative inquiry in their
projects involving this special population.'' -- Dr. Suzanne

Hearing Voices is a beautiful volume that uniquely captures the
history and movement of first episode clinics. It is an outstanding
reference book for all who wish to study and understand the
importance and effectiveness of early intervention and treatment of
first-episode psychosis from a holistic and recovery-oriented
perspective. The writers present the lived experiences and voices
of patients, family members and service providers, making Hearing
Voices a clear narrative of insightful experiential knowledge. --
